I have a html button with below CSS.
.myButton{
background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left;
height: 21px;
width: 78px;
text-align: center;
color: #696969;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
border: medium none white;
}
It renders nicely in IE. But in Fire Fox it does not render the text in center. It renders as below:
How can I align the text to center in FF. In IE it is proper?
There must be additional CSS code that applies to your button. With only the given CSS the button looks different: http://jsfiddle.net/xQmHA/
<button class="myButton">TEST</button>
You can check which style rules apply to your button from within Firefox (F12 --> CSS --> Select your button)
I changed background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left to background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top center and is working fine....
Try this,
.myButton{
padding:0;
background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left;
height: 21px;
line-height: 21px;
width: 78px;
text-align: center;
color: #696969;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
border: medium none white;
outline:0 none;
}
You need to reset default style sheet of any browser before adding your styles. In this case I suspect it is the padding that is by default added by FF/IE that makes it not work for you.
Please find an Appropriate reset style for the Element before you add your own.

I have an issue with IE9 and css. It looks like IE9 doesn't accept the padding definition of the two elements p and a. The background color shrinked and is only in the upper left corner of the elements. The following css works fine in firefox though:
<div class="slider">
<p class="claim orange">Some Text</p>
<a class="claim blue" href="">Some Link</a>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
.slider p {
position: absolute;
top: -200px;
z-index: 8000;
padding: 0.5% 2%;
line-height: 100%;
color: #fff;
white-space: nowrap;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.claim {
line-height: 100%;
font-size: 18px;
}
.orange { background: #EF7D00 }
.blue {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 15px;
border-color: white;
}
.blue:hover {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 15px;
background: #2e6da4;
border-color: #2e6da4;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
What might be the issue and how can I get the background color work in IE9 in this case?
Your code as-is doesn't seem to display a working page, at least for me in Chrome or Firefox. The p element containing "some text" is displaying with top: -200px, off the page to the top, and the background is white so I can't see anything until I mouseover the link.
Did you forget to include some key lines in your code? Try pasting everything into a text file and testing it out, before uploading it in a question, or it's going to be hard for us to help you.
It's not clear to me what you're trying to do here!
Can this be done with icon font and :before?
Aim: a large icon centered in a div with a text label centered below it.
The old way I would do this would be a background image and padding-top to render the image above the div content.
Would prefer to use an icon font. Displaying an icon to the left of the text is easy enough using :before but is it possible to display it above instead?
Thanks.
EDIT: I have no code other than bog standard icon font usage:
.mydiv:before {
content: "\f11c "; /* this is the Unicode for the icon */
font-family: FontAwesome;
margin-right: .2em;
}
this places an icon befor the text. Don't even know if possible to posisiton it above instead.
Could it be something like this?
.mydiv {
font-family: sans-serif;
width: 120px;
padding: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-radius: 3px;
background: #333;
color: #fff;
}
.mydiv:before {
content: "\f11c ";
font-family: FontAwesome;
display: block;
margin-right: .2em;
text-align: center;
}

I currently have a simple form with a text input that has a blue background set by css. It all works perfectly and looks good in firefox and ie but not on an iPhone or safari? How can I arrange it so that there is an image behind the input rather than a background?
Please note, there are other images either end of the input, see - http://stack.uk.to
The only issue I see is that the CSS for your input says its height should be 48px. Your images that sit next to it are 50px in height. If you change the input's height to 50px it seems to match.
style.css:
.loginInput {
margin-right: -11px;
background: #0099FF;
padding: 0;
color: #000066;
font-size: 36px;
font-family: 'Cubano', Arial, sans-serif;
vertical-align: bottom;
height: 50px;
border: none;
}
I've got a problem in Google chrome where the placeholder text sits too high on my website
http://www.myinvestmentdecision.com.au
Click "Feedback" and you'll see the text in the placeholder sits to high. I've got a placeholder script, but it turns off when it realises that chrome has support for placeholder.
Just to proove that point here's a jsfiddle of the form itself: http://jsfiddle.net/RAANa/
Must be a CSS thing. Any ideas?
Remove line-height:28px from your css below.
.form input[type="text"], .form input.text, .form .calculate_box .calc {
background: transparent url(../images/input-background.png) repeat-x left top;
border: 1px solid #A1A1A1;
margin-left: -1px;
height: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
display: block;
width: 284px;
}
See attached screenshot with line-height removed
I think your line-hight:28 from here: (form.css)
.form { font-family: arial, sans-serif; }
.form input[type=text],
.form input.text,
.form .calculate_box .calc{
background: transparent url(../images/input-background.png) repeat-x left top;
border: 1px solid #a1a1a1;
margin-left: -1px;
height: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
display: block;
width:284px;
}
Is causing the problem. Remember that this declaration applies to the content of the tag, as well as the tag itself. This can get you when it comes to forms..
Not sure if this is the "right" way to do it, but adding a padding of 5px to the input field would center the placeholder for the email field.
Just add this to your CSS wherever it applies to that email field:
padding: 5px;
I want to have a standard method of formatting "Show More" links in my HTML pages.
In HTML I use:
<span class="showMore">Show more details</span>
Then in the css, I have:
.showMore {
color: #0E4B82;
padding-left: 18px;
background: url("images/icons/add.png") no-repeat 0px 0px;
}
.showMore:hover {
color: #F5891D;
cursor: pointer;
}
where add.png is a 16x16 famfamfam silk icon. I use JavaScript to expand some content section using an onclick event.
This works nicely in Firefox 3.0.5 but in IE 7 the last few pixels of the icon are chopped off. I'm looking for a workaround. Using height doesn't work on inline elements like <span/>. Adding a transparent border fixes the issue in IE7:
.showMore {
border: 1px solid transparent;
color: #0E4B82;
padding-left: 18px;
background: url("images/icons/add.png") no-repeat 0px 0px;
}
But IE6 doesn't handle the transparency. Making the text bigger fixes the problem but I don't want big text. line-height doesn't work. Anyone know anything that may help?
I've solved the problem. I've no idea why but using no-repeat center left instead of no-repeat top left ensures IE doesn't chop off the bottom 2px of the icon. Why using center instead of top should result in the image being higher is strange but that's IE for you??
.showMore {
color: #0E4B82;
padding-left: 18px;
background: url("images/icons/add.png") no-repeat center left;
}
.showMore:hover {
color: #F5891D;
cursor: pointer;
}
Does
display: block;
height: 16px;
Help fix the height of the span?
